Reviews for Colombian Cafe in Manalapan Township, NJ
I was so impressed with the place, it's nice & clean but the food lacks flavor. The first time I ordered beef empanadas & they... where cold & flavor less. Out of bunuelos & pandebonos. Second time I ordered Colombian tamales came with white rice & arepa. Itwas the worst food I have ever had. The rice was raw & hard. Tamal was moshi & bland with a chicken thigh, 2 pieces of pork & aslice of potato. I didn't even finish eating half of the tamal & had the worst stomach pain that send me running to thebathroom. Very disappointed... I definitely will not be coming back & don't recommend this place. Read more
This restaurant is very clean and the food was just good not overly excellent. Two reasons why I took off two stars. One reason... is because it took a long time to get our food and there were mistakes (due to a new employee and we did have a big order). Thesecond reason is because I felt their sancocho meat was dry and flavorless. In my opinion the food in general needs a tad bitmore flavoring. Other then that they were very friendly and clean.

This place has the best Buenuelos outside of Colombia! The coffee is delicious as well. My next order will definitely include... the Bandeja Paisa and a fish entree which I am sure will be produce another positive review! Read more
Ceviche is unusual in that it's in tomato sauce.
I went this morning for coffee and something to eat. The lady offered me something called ?buñuelo? it was very good. The... coffee was excellent. She steamed the milk and the mixed with the coffee. The place was spotless clean. So I?m gonna start with5 stars. I will go back for dinner with my family and the will see if the 5 stars stay on. So far nothing bad to add. Read more

Me and my wife were very excited to see this restaurant and were impressed by the looks of it. Even the food being brought out... looks so so good. We spent close to $60.00 for the two of us so not cheap food. Really expecting for a really good treat. Foundout the food has let us down. Both my wife and I are Hispanic and love our Latin foods. Hard to find that in Manalapan so wewere so disappointed in the food. Not a single thing had flavor. Very dry and not a single bit of flavor. Even the rice andbeans were disappointing. In Hispanic culture..how can you not make rice and beans the right way?!? I gave two stars because theservice was good and platanos was good. Dessert but not our favorite as well. For a Columbian restaurant we were expecting burstof flavors. I guess the places to still go to is BoundBrook. Just sucks all the good Latin Restaurants are so far. We do notrecommend you spend money at this restaurant. Stick to the Italian and Chinese restaurants you know in Manalapan. Read more
